DEAR DIMITRI:
YOU MAY RECALL THAT IN APRIL 1974 WE INVITED THE USSR TO
PARTICIPATE IN AN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON EMERGENCY
MEDICAL SERVICES, HELD IN ROME UNDER THE SPONSORSHIP OF
THE COMMITTEE ON CHALLENGES OF MODERN SOCIETY. YOU WERE
UNFORTUNATELY UNABLE TO PARTICIPATE BECAUSE OF THE
EXTREMELY SHORT NOTICE.
THIS YEAR, A FOLLOW-UP CONFERENCE IN THE SAME AREA WILL
BE HELD IN MUNICH, GERMANY, MAY 20-24, 1975.
I WOULD BE MOST PLEASED IF THE USSR COULD SEND ONE OR MORE
OF ITS EXPERTS IN THE EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE FIELD TO
PARTICIPATE IN THIS CONFERENCE. WE ARE PARTICULARLY INTERESTED
IN YOUR PARTICIPATION BECAUSE OF THE SOVIET UNION'S HIGHLY
DEVELOPED EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES.
THE PRELIMINARY AGENDA FOR THE CONFERENCE IS ENCLOSED.
IF YOU CAN SEND PARTICIPANTS THIS YEAR, PLEASE LET ME KNOW
THEIR NAMES THROUGH OUR EMBASSY.
FURTHER DETAILS FOR THE CONFERENCE, INCLUDING ARRANGEMENTS
FOR ACCOMMODATIONS, WILL BE CONVEYED TO YOU AT A LATER DATE..
WITH WARMEST PERSONAL REGARDS.
